Where were you born, education/degrees or associations/board seats? I was born in Chicago, but moved to Wisconsin when I was two- so I am a Packers fan, but have a soft spot for the Bears. I earned a BA in Biological Psychology from CU-Boulder and an MBA in Product and Brand Management from UWM.
What did you want to be when you grew up? Sports Medicine physician.
Name of company & position, or your very first job: Advanced Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists (ADVENT), Provider & Community Outreach Coordinator.
Family: My husband, Mike, owns his own electrical contracting business.

My daughter, Emme, is 9.5 and the sweetest, smartest, sparkle and tutu-loving old soul you’ll ever meet- she’s informed NASA that she will be working there as an astrogeologist. My daughter, McKenna (known as Smoosh to most), is 8, impossibly loving, and easily the funniest person I’ve ever met- she’s still planning to be a “hair doer,” but I can only see her on Second City.

Biggest career accomplishment/highlight to date, or what do you like best about your job? The biggest career highlight for me was last summer when ADVENT was recognized as the second fastest growing business in Milwaukee by the Milwaukee Business Journal and I was asked to not only accept the award on ADVENT’s behalf, but also represent ADVENT in the brief interview they do with the top two businesses.
